    Default Remembering teh old times

    When I was a little boy, I used to turn on the computer, and we had our pc which was an MS-DOS black screen command interface. Oh yeah, I had to write win to enter teh old Win 3.1.

    In that time (I was only 5 years old) I used to had 'some' games (those were 3 with luck), and today, I don't know why, I remembered all those games. I could recall those games, and I succeded with one.

    There is one which I used to play with my mum, called Trog. This game can't run because... my computer is a good one!

    I always heard that slow pc's can't handle good games... but I never heard that you need a old pc for playing a game like this one.

    The message it gives to me is :
    "Invalid graghic card" (yes, with that mistake)

    Google doesn't give me any results, please help an old geek to remember when he was young.

    Thank you in advance.

    Somewhere in this forum there's a link to a freeware emulator. (Search for "Virtual PC", which I had mentioned in the said thread.) Using that emulator install your dear DOS & Win 3.x and enjoy your game.

    I will try that, Mouza. I have been using "DosBox" and I'm able to make it "run", it opens, but the error:
    "Invalid graghic card"
    closes the game and won't let me play.
